Pumpkin Soup

(3) K-3 When Duck announces he wants to stir their pumpkin soup, his friends, Squirrel and Cat, laugh at him, since that is Squirrel's job. Duck walks out and doesn't come back, not even at supper time. Worried, Squirrel and Cat set out to find him. Cooper's use of language and the bright, pumpkin-hued illustrations present a fresh look at what it means to be a friend. A recipe for pumpkin soup is appended.
